Summary
On the worst birthday of my life， I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman。 Within hours， I’m drunk， homeless， and pledging to stay single forever。 And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town， looking for fae like me。
Every generation， the king holds a competition for Seelie queen。 But for reasons he won’t explain， Torin is looking for a charade， not a real marriage。 So when I drunkenly sling insults his way， I have his attention。
When Torin offers me fifty million to participate， I think， “What have I got to lose？” The answer turns out to be “my life，” because my competition will literally kill for the crown。
And the more time I spend with the seductive king， the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake。 Now， my life—and my heart—are one the line。

EnjoyableThis is the first book I've read by this author。 It's well written with interesting characters。I am feeling a bit gutted though， as I'll have to wait till January for the next instalment。I guess I'll just have to fill the time by reading the author's other books （like that's a hardship）。This book came up as a recommendation， kindle does seem to have improved their selections。 I'm definitely following this author now。😍 EnjoyableThis is the first book I've read by this author。 It's well written with interesting characters。I am feeling a bit gutted though， as I'll have to wait till January for the next instalment。I guess I'll just have to fill the time by reading the author's other books （like that's a hardship）。This book came up as a recommendation， kindle does seem to have improved their selections。 I'm definitely following this author now。😍 。。。more

Crawford knows how to write a really fun book。 I devoured this in its entirety last night。 It reminds me of a book I read a little earlier this year but the characters were better fleshed out， the world building was way more interesting and the plot line was more believable。 My only complaint is that this felt like it could be standalone and got set up for more towards the end of the book。 Of course I'd never say no to more from the world but had hoped for more resolution and answers here。 Crawford knows how to write a really fun book。 I devoured this in its entirety last night。 It reminds me of a book I read a little earlier this year but the characters were better fleshed out， the world building was way more interesting and the plot line was more believable。 My only complaint is that this felt like it could be standalone and got set up for more towards the end of the book。 Of course I'd never say no to more from the world but had hoped for more resolution and answers here。 。。。more

**There was minimal spice because Torin didn’t want Ava to die。 Heavy sexual tension， enemies or dislike to lovers。 Ava was feeling a little self-conscious because of her breakup with her douchebag boyfriend， but she starts to feel better after Torin whisks her away to Farie。 Well， Ava and Torin fall into like with each other， even though they aren’t supposed to。 Ava thinks maybe it could be more since they like each other’s company and because he wants to protect her beyond holding up his side **There was minimal spice because Torin didn’t want Ava to die。 Heavy sexual tension， enemies or dislike to lovers。 Ava was feeling a little self-conscious because of her breakup with her douchebag boyfriend， but she starts to feel better after Torin whisks her away to Farie。 Well， Ava and Torin fall into like with each other， even though they aren’t supposed to。 Ava thinks maybe it could be more since they like each other’s company and because he wants to protect her beyond holding up his side of the bargain。 But as always Torin pushes Ava away because he doesn’t want her to be stone， and Ava gets even more insecure。 Ava is a badass who doesn’t give up and finds her inner Fae ruthlessness and beats Moira （Torin’s first love’s sister who got turned to stone） at the last fencing match。 But Moira has premonitions and tells Ava that she will get turned to stone by Torin。 Ava confronts Torin and he accidentally touches her， and you guessed it！ She starts turning to stone， but before she can transform completely， he rushes her to the throne where she heals。 While sitting on the throne she asks it to go home and says this is NOT worth 50 mill。， where Ava gets thrust into the unseelie land。 Torin is like the Fae medusa。 He’s turning people to stone left and right。 。。。more

This was such a riveting read！！ CN crawford always delivers， and this series so far reminds me of her Sea Fae series…which is my favorite of hers。 For those complaining that it’s predictable…。I mean most high fantasy books have similar tropes…。but The chemistry between the characters was insane and this was such an enjoyable read。 She always throws in dry humor as well。 Amazing world building， fast paced， high fantasy and cliff hanger ending。 Not much smut at all…but that’s for a reason。 I’m sur This was such a riveting read！！ CN crawford always delivers， and this series so far reminds me of her Sea Fae series…which is my favorite of hers。 For those complaining that it’s predictable…。I mean most high fantasy books have similar tropes…。but The chemistry between the characters was insane and this was such an enjoyable read。 She always throws in dry humor as well。 Amazing world building， fast paced， high fantasy and cliff hanger ending。 Not much smut at all…but that’s for a reason。 I’m sure she will deliver in the next installment。 I can’t wait！ 。。。more

I thought the blend between the fae and human worlds was well done and I love the sub romance happening。 I wish there was a little more interaction between Ava and the other competitors， more inter-character manipulation， less front and center drama。 I am VERY upset that I have to wait for January to continue the story though so that means I quite liked the book overall :） got between a 3 and a 4 star so we'll be generous I thought the blend between the fae and human worlds was well done and I love the sub romance happening。 I wish there was a little more interaction between Ava and the other competitors， more inter-character manipulation， less front and center drama。 I am VERY upset that I have to wait for January to continue the story though so that means I quite liked the book overall :） got between a 3 and a 4 star so we'll be generous 。。。more

Zdecydowanie na plus to， że czyta się szybko。 Książka nie wypada tragicznie， ale wolałabym więcej szczegółów na temat świata - niektóre informacje były przekazane szybko i jakby nieskładnie。 Do tego ten cały turniej dział się zbyt mocno w tle i sorki， ale odróżnienie tych księżniczek to był trochę koszmar。 Przez większość czasu pamiętałam tylko kim jest Moria。Ale przeczytam część drugą， bo ciekawi mnie， co autorzy zrobią po tej końcówce i gdzie nas to zaprowadziKsiążka dla fanów Rywalek i Okrutn Zdecydowanie na plus to， że czyta się szybko。 Książka nie wypada tragicznie， ale wolałabym więcej szczegółów na temat świata - niektóre informacje były przekazane szybko i jakby nieskładnie。 Do tego ten cały turniej dział się zbyt mocno w tle i sorki， ale odróżnienie tych księżniczek to był trochę koszmar。 Przez większość czasu pamiętałam tylko kim jest Moria。Ale przeczytam część drugą， bo ciekawi mnie， co autorzy zrobią po tej końcówce i gdzie nas to zaprowadziKsiążka dla fanów Rywalek i Okrutnego księcia 。。。more

I give this a solid 3。5。 I wanted to give it a 4 but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it。 I can’t stand when authors bring in real world present day things like social media or television into fantasy worlds。 I just feel like it should be fantasy… anyway， it wasn’t great but I also couldn’t put it down。 It was addicting。 The tension between Ava and Torin is good and I found myself excited to read those parts。 I think it loved a little fast for a slow burn？ Maybe it’s just because it’s shorter I give this a solid 3。5。 I wanted to give it a 4 but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it。 I can’t stand when authors bring in real world present day things like social media or television into fantasy worlds。 I just feel like it should be fantasy… anyway， it wasn’t great but I also couldn’t put it down。 It was addicting。 The tension between Ava and Torin is good and I found myself excited to read those parts。 I think it loved a little fast for a slow burn？ Maybe it’s just because it’s shorter and I read through it fairly quickly。 Will also note that I thought there were a lot of unnecessary word exchanges where she used bigger/uncommon words where common English would’ve been just fine。 。。。more

Did you like City of Thorns？ Congrats， it's the same book。 To give this book some props， I thought the banter between the two MCs was good， and their chemistry was solid。 Cliffhanger ending was seen coming from a mile away， and honestly， felt a bit short。 Did you like City of Thorns？ Congrats， it's the same book。 To give this book some props， I thought the banter between the two MCs was good， and their chemistry was solid。 Cliffhanger ending was seen coming from a mile away， and honestly， felt a bit short。 。。。more

I found this book on Kindle Unlimited， and I absolutely loved it！ It was a fantastical read with some real world feel to it！ I truly felt for Ava and Torin both， and being able to read the story from both perspectives was a wonderful way to be able to understand both sides。 I can’t wait for the next book in January to see where this story takes them！！！！I returned my kindle unlimited copy and BOUGHT the digital copy of this book， as well as preordered the next。 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰

I don’t give 5 ⭐️ out that often but DAMN！ This book had me hooked from the first sentence， I could not put it down。 I loved every minute of this and I need book 2 ASAP。My only regret is only realising it’s a new release after reading it， so now the wait for the second book starts

Great storyThis was a great angsty read。 I loved the Pull of the characters to each other and the world building。 There was definitely steam but no explicit spice。

For fans of The Selection who wanted the story to be deadlier and filled with magic。。。 this might be the book for you。I enjoyed the book from start to finish。 It's easy to like Ava and to follow her journey。 Love Torin too （because why not？） and Shalini is a dream best friend （love to see her with Aeron！）。 The world building was good and easy to follow， and I love how the chemistry slowly built in Ava and Torin's relationship。Looking forward the next book！ For fans of The Selection who wanted the story to be deadlier and filled with magic。。。 this might be the book for you。I enjoyed the book from start to finish。 It's easy to like Ava and to follow her journey。 Love Torin too （because why not？） and Shalini is a dream best friend （love to see her with Aeron！）。 The world building was good and easy to follow， and I love how the chemistry slowly built in Ava and Torin's relationship。Looking forward the next book！ 。。。more
